Questions to ask before you book

  1. Is the problem pump, pressure tank, switch, wiring, or well yield?
  2. What parts are included?
  3. Can you provide water testing or inspection documentation?
  4. What emergency fees apply?

Keep the scope clean

Ask each company to price the same work, with materials, labor, access, cleanup, disposal, permits, and warranty separated. That makes the lowest quote easier to inspect and the highest quote easier to challenge.
